As a current PL you must understand that's huge bump to attract new
people to the project even starting with simple users. Otherwise I
refuse to continue discussion of this question in further conversation
with you.

We have never had a sane one since 2005-2006 (like it was already
mentioned hours ago).

I remember the days of 2003-2005. The community was huge. And interest
in the project -- too. But we lost too many essential people like
dmlb2000 and afrayedknot, who contributed and developed the project and
organized community around instead of blah-blahing every year on ML.
Those, who made the job done, and it was really visible to all.

That violates principles of functional and logical separation for every
file in the spell. You take the term "UNIX philosophy" too literally.
Drop it now.
